Dont think UFC would wanna do that, DC/Mir is more like a Headline fight, or Co-main on PPV.

Their FOX ratings have dipped a bit since the first Fox card, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them stack a card to really boost ratings. Not to mention, DC is still a relative unknown to alot of the mainstream fans. Keep in mind, they had Shogun & BJ on the last Fox card.

bendo will clean sweep gilbert 50-44 (yes, there will be one 10-8 round as i don't think gilbert has great cardio and i believe he'll wear down by the fifth to the point of exhaustion.)

I don't think any of the cesar gracie fighters are on the championship level in the UFC.. but ive been wrong before a few times.

(rousey isn't really a cesar gracie fighter, and the womens division is much less stacked than the mens divisions.. long story short, the mens division has been around longer and has more high level fighters)

I like this. Bendo's last fight did very well on Fox, so now we get another title fight with Bendo on Fox against a former champion who has fought on Showtime and CBS. It's a good move by the UFC.

I think this fight is a good idea. Sometimes you just have to seize opportunities like this and book these fights when they are available. If this fight happens, it gives the winner of say Pettis/Cerrone the chance to wait a little to fight the winner of Henderson/Melendez.

If you put Melendez in a different fight it runs the risk of killing this fight completely. Now we have the chance to see a UFC champion against a Strikeforce champion. Let's make it happen.

+1
same reason they made nick diaz vs gsp now, nick diaz will probably never be close to a title shot again, so they give him one while they can to make money and give the fans the fight they want.
